Music/Sound

While editing the film I realised that we had not really given much thought to the soundtrack. We briefly discussed that there were certain shots which would work better with silence or diegetic sound only. However, we had not settled on any music.

I therefore went ahead and searched for music on freeplaymusic.com. While much of what I sampled would not have been appropriate for our film, I very much liked the following piece:



The inspiration for using this type of non-diegetic soundtrack is the ending for the film 'Saw'

The music while the twist is being revealed is appropriate for the genre and heightens the intense atmosphere of the film’s ending. The rapid editing used for the flashbacks is also a technique which could be put to use in our film, as it gives a sense of déjà vu, and is also very effective.
